This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

googleapis.com is Google's own API domain, and Gmail is published by Google, so this is a first-party service endpoint (the '-pa' pattern is used for Google's private mobile API services; the 'subscriptions' name suggests subscription/purchase state, though I cannot verify its exact function). The app's label already declares collecting purchase history, user IDs, and app interactions, so this contact appears covered.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is under googleapis.com and is most likely a Google-operated API endpoint used by Gmail. The label declares extensive collection categories, so this contact alone does not imply an uncovered data flow.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain subscriptionsmobile-pa.googleapis.com is owned by Google, making this a first-party endpoint for the Gmail app. The app's privacy label broadly declares account, user ID, and purchase data collection for its first-party services.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
